	<h1>Basket</h1>
	<p>
		The <strong>Basket</strong> folder that is available in the <strong><a
			href="003.html">Folders Pane</a></strong> opens the <strong>Basket
			Pane</strong>.
	</p>
	<p>
		The <strong>Basket</strong> is a virtual and temporary placeholder
		that can be used to perform batch operations on files in CKFinder. It
		is a <em>virtual</em> container, since the files that are placed in
		the <strong>Basket</strong> are not physically moved from their parent
		folders.
	</p>
	<p>
		The figure below presents the file browser <strong>Basket
			Pane</strong> that is expanded when you click the <strong>Basket</strong>
		folder in the <strong>Folders Pane</strong>.

	</p>
	<p>
		<span class="info">Note:</span> The <strong>Basket</strong> folder is
		private in the sense that it is not being shared with other users of
		the file system and is tied to your browser session.
	</p>
	<h2>Adding Files to Basket</h2>
	<p>
		At the beginning of each CKFinder session the <strong>Basket</strong>
		is empty. A message urging you to drag some files and drop them into
		the <strong>Basket</strong> will be displayed. In order to do this, go
		to the folder that contains the files that you are going to use, drag
		it onto the <strong>Basket</strong> folder in the <strong>Folders
			Pane</strong>, and drop.
	</p>

			height="303" alt="Dragging a file to the Basket in CKFinder" />&nbsp;
	</p>
	<p>
		The file should now appear in the <strong>Basket</strong> folder.
	</p>
	<h2>File Context Menu</h2>
	<p>
		When a file is placed in the <strong>Basket</strong>, its context menu
		will change to only include the operations that are available in this
		special folder.
	</p>
	<p style="text-align: center">

	</p>
	<h2>Removing Files from Basket</h2>
	<p>
		There are two methods of removing a file from the <strong>Basket</strong>.
		Firstly, you can remove an individual file by choosing the <strong>Remove
			from Basket</strong> option from the file context menu. When you select the
		context menu removal option, a confirmation message will appear.
	</p>
	<p style="text-align: center">

			height="149" alt="Removing a file from the Basket in CKFinder" />&nbsp;
	</p>
	<p>
		You can also remove all files at once by clicking the <strong>Clear
			Basket</strong> toolbar button. When you do this, you will be prompted to
		confirm whether you intend to remove all <strong>Basket</strong>
		contents.
	</p>
	<p style="text-align: center">
		<img src="../../files/images/CKFinder_basket_clear.png" width="304"
			height="149" alt="Removing all files from the Basket in CKFinder" />&nbsp;
	</p>
	<p>
		<span class="info">Note:</span> Removing a file from the <strong>Basket</strong>
		does not delete it from the file system. It will still be available in
		its parent folder.
	</p>
	<h2>Showing File Parent Folder</h2>
	<p>
		As mentioned above, the <strong>Basket</strong> is a virtual folder
		that lists files that are physically located in other file system
		folders. If you want to check the source folder of a file, choose the
		<strong>Open Parent Folder</strong> option from the file context menu.
		CKFinder will show the folder that the file is located in.
	</p>
	<h2>Copying Files from Basket</h2>
	<p>
		Once you conveniently place some files in the <strong>Basket</strong>,
		you will now be able to copy them to a different (physical) folder. In
		order to achieve this, select the target folder in the <strong><a
			href="003.html">Folders Pane</a></strong> and choose the <strong>Copy
			Files from Basket</strong> option from its context menu.
	</p>
	<p>A confirmation message will appear, listing the files that were
		copied to the target folder.</p>
	<p style="text-align: center">
		<img src="../../files/images/CKFinder_folder_copied_from_basket.png"
			width="304" height="206" alt="Copying files from Basket in CKFinder" />&nbsp;
	</p>
	<p>The files will be duplicated and their copies will be placed in
		the target folder. The source folder will remain untouched.</p>
	<h2>Moving Files from Basket</h2>
	<p>
		The <strong>Basket</strong> is also useful if you want to move some
		files between folders. Once you place some files in the <strong>Basket</strong>,
		select a target folder in the <strong>Folders Pane</strong>, and
		choose the <strong>Move Files from Basket</strong> option from its
		context menu.
	</p>
	<p>A confirmation message will appear, listing the files that were
		moved to the target folder.</p>
	<p style="text-align: center">
		<img src="../../files/images/CKFinder_folder_moved_from_basket.png"
			width="304" height="206" alt="Moving files from Basket in CKFinder" />&nbsp;
	</p>
	<p>The files will be removed from the source folder and pasted into
		the target folder.</p>
